Unless the vape products grease their palms too....which most or all physicians won't issue until after you've tried every other smoking cessation method (made by the pharma cos that grease their palms).

Love them or hate them, there's no denying that they were very effective at getting people to put down the combustible cigs, and/or never start smoking them in the first place. They were a ground-breaking product when they were introduced in 2015; a convenient, near cig-alike form-factor that actually worked.While, in principle, I hate anyone being forced out of the ecig market, it couldnt have happened to a more deserving bunch than Altria.

What similar products? The last I checked the only one that had been approved was a cig a like with the old hard cartridge and no discernible e-juice I mean there's something in there but You can't see it because it's wrapped in what looks like a cigarette filter lol. But then again I've stopped paying attention months ago because I just couldn't deal with it and everything else. So I'm actually happy to hear they may have approved something else.I guess we will see how defendable it is. I suspect Altria can and will hire some pretty good lawyers. I don't have the list of products that have gotten a PMTA (is anyone keeping track of this anymore?) but given that some similar products have gotten approved, this strikes me as a "political" move.

I knew about the heat not burn stuff but thank you for clarifying that so I am interested then in their justification with Juul maybe they imagine because the company voluntarily pulled the flavors that they'll voluntarily pull the productsA company called JTI had 3 products approved in March, one of which is a closed pod system (only the tobacco flavored pods were approved). The other two are a heat not burn product and a cigalike.
From VersedVaper.com
...the approved products consist of JTI’s Logic Vapeleaf, Logic Power and Logic Pro brands. Logic Vapeleaf is a heated tobacco product sold under JTI’s PLOOM TECH. This non-heat technology was purchased by JTI in 2017 from a branch off of Juul Labs. Logic Power is the company’s e-cigarette offering. And finally, Logic Pro is the brand’s disposable pod system.

I'm being completely honest I'm actually shocked that they approved anyHere is a List of what the FDA has Granted Market Orders for...
Premarket Tobacco Product Marketing Granted Orders
Kinda a Joke. But then again, No One ever said that the Entire Process wasn't a Rigged Con Game. And the FDA lived up to their end.
Economic power is exercised by means of a positive, by offering men a reward, an incentive, a payment, a value; political power is exercised by means of a negative, by the threat of punishment, injury, imprisonment, destruction. The businessman's tool is values; the bureaucrat's tool is fear. — Ayn Rand
If anything the abolition of vaping as self-regulating enterprise has served as the adequate preamble and test bed for all those 'other things' they wanted to try out. Very sad at the indifference of so many to not see through it all. To me it's only confirmed the nature of this nation's true addiction.
"The question isn't who is going to let me: it's who is going to stop me."
Good luck.
Not a good court for their appeal.Word on the street is that Juul has already filed an appeal in D.C. Circuit court to temporarily block the FDA’s order.
One might speculate that Juul/Altria is not going to obey the FDA's order and pull the product off retail shelves at this time.
That Wouldn't play well in the eyes of the Vast Majority of Federal Judges. Or State Attorney Generals.
And besides Altria/JUUL's website, it is going to the Individual "Tobacco" Retailers who would be doing the Pulling. And I don't see them Dying on that Hill for JUUL.
A metric ship-ton.I wonder how many store front retailers there are
